Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend 
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end 
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that’s fine
But don’t say you’re English, that’s way out of line.The French and the Germans may call themselves such
So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch 
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane

But don’t say you’re English ever again. At Broadcasting House the word is taboo
In Brussels it’s scrapped, in Parliament too 
Even schools are affected, staff do as they’re told 
They must not teach children about England of old. 
 
aWriters like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw 
The pupils don’t learn about them anymore 
How about Agincourt, Hastings , Arnhem or Mons ? 
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons. 

For all those not ashamed to say your English! I just thought you may like this. We have a long history, sure we have things that spoil the picture, but then doesn’t every country. It is a green and pleasant land. It is a land of diverse backgrounds that has always welcomed visitors, like the Romans, Vikings and Normans for example!

The BNP don’t own our flags - we do! Every other country flies their flags with pride, here its virtually an offence (surprised they haven’t made it one yet - oops shouldn’t have said that, they will now).

I was in the Chalfonts earlier in the week and they are flying many beautiful flags of St George and the Union Flag. It was heartening to see, shame more don’t follow that example.

Happy St Georges Day to all, I’ll see you at the mass of events in London…oooh…hang on there aren’t any…

Happy St Georges Day anyway!

Hi,

Well after several moans I came across the Channel 4 documentary tonight on dispatches, about the little Green Book (sounds like something Colonel Ghaddafi would have) that governs MP’s expenses. Funny how Mick from Gorbals doesn’t seem to want to answer questions, mind you he wasn’t too keen to answer Questions on things like Mr Greens recent visit from the Police either.

I would humbly suggest there is a national Fraud Team that covers all Government departments and MP’s in the future. That way the good work of the Fraud Teams in the City, MOD and NHS, would be standardised across the board. So much money gets wasted through frauds big and small.

Its nice to see the Home Secretary is considering allowing the Hillsborough files to be released early, distracting away from other issues maybe? Course not.

It was a sad day for so many families and indeed the Emergency Services. Thankfully things are changed across the world of football. But it is sadly funny that no one ever seems to be prosecuted for Manslaughter when they are in official capacities, I have said it before there are two rules in this country now, one for us and one for those in power. That’s not the way to do it. That attitude should be dispatched post haste.

Don’t see anyone getting dragged before a judge for offences for taking us to war, under equipped. Which brings me back to expenses and claims again, whilst in the forces and the police, I bought kit to make up deficiencies or make life a bit better. Guess how much I claimed for? The Patio heater, films, third home…none of the above. Its wrong you have to buy your own kit, especially some of it as basic stuff. But having to buy a third house, well that must be awful…

I do feel for those MP’s who haven’t been taking the p (p=profit of course). I did also read an article about the very talented lady singer from Britain’s got talent, she was described as being a bit odd, one reason given was she puts pennies and cash in an old Whiskey bottle….

Well call me odd to then! I know I get called worse by some…’whatever’, but putting pennies in a jar surely is good recycling of bottle and metal, and also a much better and safer banking system than some I could mention…

Maybe the chancellor will bail out my bottle bank?

I know i should be dispatched for that line….

p.s.

Dear Chancellor,

Could I have my £5,000 to scrap my car now please, we can get Mrs H back on the road then..lets just say we will start with a bumper car…and work up…

p.p.s

I see that there is talk to maybe stop the young kids who put on stunt shows on motorbikes, like the Imps, what a shame, maybe they can use bumper bikes. We must over protect everyone, then when they grow up they will tie themselves to bungees and through themselves off tall structures to make up for the lack of thrills in younger life. Must watch Panorama tomorrow as they are doing ‘May contain nuts’, we have gone nuts.

Apparently its the emission thing with the IMPS support vehicles…good grief, don’t they see through their own hot air? Lets hope so…

Balance - it’s all about sensible precautions, not overkill. I am off to bed now, after doing my paperwork of course into the associated risks.

Night, night.  

Hi,

Well to my surprise (as a result of the sad and untimely death of Ian Tomlinson, the newspaper seller during the G20 protests), I was watching the news and who did I see on the TV but Nat Carey, Pathologist.

He was the Pathologist in Keran’s trial (the trial were we couldn’t have our own autopsy - ask them why), that backs up Risdon et al, in the Shaken Baby syndrome saga. Well if I was the suspended officer from the G20, I would now be very worried as they don’t need evidence now. They could try and simply allege shaking…albeit with no grip marks probably…so handy that, not having to back it up with the common sense approach or indeed physical evidence.

The officer has now been interviewed under caution apparently for Manslaughter, people often think that the Police stand by suspended colleagues. Well having seen a few people from different forces suspended you have nothing to fear, they usually don’t get much backup at all. Great distance is put between people, and the old innocent until proven guilty approach goes to. Things may have changed now….

But I hope both sides involved get a speedier recourse to justice than we have so far. After all the IPCC may well have other cases to look at soon to, lets hope they (the IPCC) have plenty of resources.

The young woman who was allegedly attacked by the Sergeant at g20, said she feared for her life I heard. Funny place to be then…and to chase after the person who may cause you harm? Hey what do I know anymore the world seems to be m/fixed up. I bet Gordon now wishes they held the G20 somewhere else, like…anywhere!

Public Disorder was never fun to Police, endless hours of standing around and then once the few trouble causers had time to get tanked up, it got interesting at the end. The thin line of Yellow jacket’s, standing against many thousands. It made Custers last stand look like a mere trifle (see what I did there…Custer/Custard….brilliant, well for this time of night anyway).

Anyway whilst I sit and moan my wife is still in Her Majesties B&B (Bed & Bars). Soon though that ends, then normal(ish) service can resume. But we will get that time to sort out the list of people at the end of it all, as the clock is ticking more and more on them each day.

The knifes are out too, not only is hunting season about to start on Experts with Telepathy and Teleporting powers (I didn’t think they were that sort of Doctor - but they must be as they seem to know what went on, like they must have read the ’suspects’ mind or gone back in time), but also it seems to be Gordon Brown is up against it more each day. Harriet Harman is saying that ssssssssslurring is bad, I just hope she isn’t in a Greenhouse. I get the feeling someone is trying to distance themselve’s, they are the sort of person you want in front of you! 

Gordon must now be able to fully empathise with TB - Tony Blair, not the illness…… as he (Tony) got a lot of support back in the day’s before he went….

But there is always good news, I am buying surplus body armour (which should have gone to our troops when they invaded Iraq, but was stockpiled in a Woolies in Staines), and  I am selling it on to Labour Party officials, with extra armour for the back area.

I have experience at being stabbed in the back, so I know what I am talking about (but ask any RPC). We should sell loads…

To all those others out there who may take power after this, look up integrity and get it into your heads. Live by it, lead by it.

Here endeth the moan!

Stay safe………….stay away from riots.

p.s. 

Mellow the Yellow and Chill the Bill.

Don’t detest the protest.

A poet

p.p.s

I am putting the family down for the next series of BBC’s Swiss Family Robinson, but NOT for just 3 weeks, I was thinking of asking of giving 3 decades a go?!

That was until I heard the next Island to be used was going to be the Isle of Dogs, everyone else gets a tropical one, but apparently its a budget thing!

The only tropical thing you get is a bottle of Apple and Mango G20… or something like that.
